Forget Me Not

Ellie Terry writes about Tourette syndrome from the inside, and it shows — the portrayal is warm, specific, and free of the cheap jokes and misconceptions that usually dog TS in fiction. The alternating verse-and-prose format is genuinely inventive for middle grade, and the dual perspectives give the book emotional range beyond what the short page count might suggest. Multiple state award nominations and real-world classroom traction confirm this is the kind of book kids and teachers both reach for.
